I was planning to sit outside, smoke, and cut down boxes this afternoon. The weather has other ideas, though. Getting ready to rain and storm.

Made it through Houston and the memorial service. A lot of old friends it was good to catch up with. I thought the traffic was going to give me a nervous breakdown or a divorce. Finally made it to our friends ranch 100 miles west of Houston and got to relax. It will be a calm country drive back home, no major highways, mostly farm roads I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO HOUSTON FOR ANY REASON,PERIOD!

It is really nice this last week to see us transition from triple digits daily, to 59° in the morning, doors opened, high of 80° today.
This summer, the heat has been relentless… even the old timers not prone to complain, did so.

Deer are moving here. Y’day afternoon four doe showed uip in my back area. They looked to be in very good condition. This morning I looked out the front window to see a stream of 15 crossing the road below the house. Have no idea how many I missed ahead of them. Very encouraging since I hadn’t seen any since the spring.

My wife saw a Facebook video title Colorado traffic jam, the herd of elk was pretty impressive, bringing hundreds of cars to a standstill in Estes Park, it seems to be a common occurrence there. If I were an elk, I would head into town for hunting season.

Elk, deer, and antelope all gang up at various times in the winter. I think it is nature’s way of spreading the gene pool around and avoiding in-breeding. Antelope in the Sandhills will sometimes gather in impromptu herds of many hundreds.

Back home after driving a third of the way across Texas. We took the back roads and it was very relaxing. A lot of it was on El Camino de Tejas. It was pretty scenic with a lot of big ranches with cows to the horizon. It's a good road to be 350 years old.

We've got our first freeze warning coming on Halloween morning. Seems like the predicted temps for this cool snap keep going down.

The cold front is moving through the region bringing below freezing temperatures over the next three nights. We may even have some light snow Tuesday night.

The end of October on the High Plains can be schizo. It was actually 5° this morning. (I misread the sensor.) And we’re forecast for 61° later in the week. Don’t like the weather? Wait half a’ mo.

While packing last night, I started to pack what I always do. Then I realized that I better look at the forecast in NM… Silver City/ Hatch/ TorC.
Got to Lordsburg today, must have been 30° with howling winds… glad to have long pants and a jacket.

It's a classic crisp, clear Autumn morning here in NE Ohio. We'll have below freezing temperatures for the next few nights including a bit of a snow flurry tonight and into tomorrow. Another warm front is going to move in and bring the temperatures up, but November seems to have gotten ahead of itself.

I was awarded 1K today, had a delivery to a patient residing in a 5th wheel trailer, they wanted the stuff delivered inside but it was ridiculously littered with all kinds of hazards. Took pictures, explained the hazards, offered a solution, and informed the nurse.
Pretty crazy in some of the situations we encounter.
I wish the award had come through prior to the pipe show!😉
